Lol Jeff Gertsmann!

It's a 5 star system. Get over it. Not like the review counts for anything, and it already got AAA here.EuroMafia

It doesn't mean that he gave the game a low score, it simply means that he's using a dumb rating system. The more increments, the better.

He gave Smash Bros. Brawl a 4/5. Seriously, is this some kind of joke? Something tells me he would have rated it an 8.0 on here if he reviewed it.

That was a very well written review I don't understand how the hell people can actually say that Brawl is perfect when its not.

Brawl is awesome with friends (quite possibly the best game period), sub-par when playing alone and decent when playing online. My friend let me borrow his Wii and I've got to say playing online is not fun especially when theres no gamertag or any chat system whatsoever. When my friends are over the game is fantastic and hours dissapear like minutes but as an alone experience it eventually gets boring. I think that 4/5 is the perfect rating for this game.

4/5? isn't that the equivalent to 9/10? you're not happy with that? great as it may be, SSBB isn't the greatest game ever made. it doesn't deserve a perfect 10, it has it's flaws.GUNpoint_

ROFL!!!!

Now time for a maths lesson:

5+5 = 10

4+4 = 8

Thus: the game is rated 8/10

Oh god this is so sad, why does it matter?

Ya..it's official, Gertsmann is anti-Nintendo. majadamus

no, it's officialy a person who can look further than the hype and just looks at the game as a criticall consumer.

jeff/ryan's new review scale:

5= great, can be enjoyed by everyone

4= fun, best for fans f the genre

3= aveage

2= only approach if you live the series

1= dont play for any reason

4/5 is 80 percent.

Can you really call it a 80 percent when their is no 90 percent.....Does not matter either way. Just a weird way to review the games

You're all obsessed with scores. Here's an idea: actually read the review instead of just looking at the score. There's no way you can tell if you should buy a game by just looking at the score. But I guess you people don't care about actually buying games anymore, all you care about is 'ownage'.

IMO Jeff's review of SSBB is the best I have read, it sums up everything you need to know about the game concisely and eloquently. And unlike a certain other review, he doesn't factually contradict himself within the space of two paragraphs.

Because of their score system, Giant Bomb is always going to be a site for gamers, not system warriors.

QFT, seriously, one below AAA score and some over zealous sheep want to perform a witch hunt. :lol:

GameRankings doesn't take him seriously (his scores are not considered in the average, just like all the other sites that are not in bold) so his odium is of no conern.

He hardly talks about the online features, he makes no mention of the stagebuilder, the different control options, the replay and screenshot maker, nor does he talk about the final smash attacks. The review sounds like he played through the Subspace Emissary and then played one or two matches just so he could write a quick review.Can-o-Mark

it was a bad review !

some good things they put in ssbb where not pointed out in his review

Jeff Gertsmann = 1 opinion = fail !

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="Can-o-Mark"]Anyone who says its a good review either hasnt played the game or read the review.Can-o-Mark

He didn't even mention the outstanding soundtrack. I just can't believe that people are actually agreeing with this review. He left so many stuff out.

For you, cause ive throughy enjoyed the single player.

Even if it mostly remixes, the soundtrack is still outstanding.

Completely remixed tracks, and new tracks, whats not to like. Brawl has THE BEST videogame soundtrack ever.

I disagree with you on all those fronts, except the online since I havent tried it yet. But even if those features arent "worth mentioning" like you claim, does that mean they should be left out of the review? No, they're part of the game. What use is a review if you're going to leave out loads of features. Plus even you didnt make a mention of the final smash attack in this post. Because final smash attacks are just a very big addition to the game.Can-o-Mark

Maybe it not the best, but it is truly one of the best videogame soundtrack.
